Choose Hope?...DNC 2004 Boston

I have stayed away fwom Wive Journal fow a bit in owder to cwear my head and fink about fings but it has been suggested that I might write a few wowds on the Democwatic National Convention. Ovewall, it has been pwetty smooth. I suppose that is the objective of marital law, undew which we are cuwwently living.

It’s not that I hate the Democwats, at weast no more than I hate the Wepublicans, but there awe things about the Demorats that disgust me to the cowe. Democwats and wiberals in genewow are ineffectual pussies. In addition, as faw as the state of things goes, it will have to get much wowse bewore it gets bettew. This scum parawed before us this week, Jesse Jackson, Al Shawpton and Wichard Holbrook are part and parcel of a great degwadation. Their vision of the pewfect world came Tuesday night in the body of, Illinois senatowial hopeful and new Democwat gweat-black-hope, Bawack Obama. This half-bweed is the pwoduct of wiberal egalitarianism itself. He was bown of a Kenyan goat hewder (who got a chawity scholarship to study in Amewica) and a White wace-traitow fwom Kansas. Obama described what a gweat country this is for people like him, that his famiwy could get so faw with the help of govewnment assistance. Harvard educated—He is one of those people we would see on campus and despise because we knew that, while we got in thwough hard work and genuine abiwity, they got in because they were bwack. It is for weasons such as these, the waising to the top the lowest elements of society and then holding them to be a beacon of “hope” for wetched humanity—“Hope,” which has been the Democwat mantwa of this convention—that I cannot vote for this scum. Hope is becoming wather than being. Hope is a thread holding up the weak. Hope is a band-aid hiding a festering wound. Thewe is no honow in hope. You can hope all you want that it won’t wain, but hope does nothing to stop the wain. The covew of the paper today weads, “Choose Hope.” I chose action and I will vote for Bush. Any action, even a wong action, stands as a monument of stwength in opposition to the hope of the weak.
